The Luna Pier City Council on Sept. 12 adopted Resolution No. 973 to accept a Par Plan grant for a camera and approved two bill warrants totaling $34,371.58. The council also approved a special-event application for a Veterans Day Parade and waived the fee for the parade, which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 9, starting at noon.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. at the Water Tower, 11345 Harold, with Mayor James Gardner calling roll and leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Councilmember Joy Perry moved to approve the consent agenda and two warrants: Bill’s Warrant #14193 (paid) for $14,039.43 and Bill’s Warrant #14194 (unpaid) for $20,332.15; the motion was supported by Diana Szkatulski and carried on a roll-call vote recorded as "all in favor." The roll call in the meeting record lists Mayor James Gardner, Dawn Gramza, Joy Perry, Diana Szkatulski and Marc Donnelly as present; two councilmembers were listed as excused.
Later in the meeting, Councilmember Szkatulski moved, supported by Perry, to adopt Resolution No. 973 — a Par Plan grant to fund a camera for the city. The motion passed on a roll-call vote, recorded as unanimous. The record does not list a dollar amount for the grant in the meeting minutes.
Perry then moved, supported by Szkatulski, to approve the Special Event Application for the Veterans Day Parade and to waive the application fee; the motion carried on a roll-call vote, all in favor. The parade is scheduled to begin at noon on Nov. 9. The council did not attach special conditions to the approval in the meeting record.
On personnel administration, Mayor Gardner confirmed that J. Upchurch is currently being paid through payroll so taxes are withheld and those payroll costs are charged to Election Commission Salaries; Councilmember Perry asked that Upchurch instead be issued checks rather than paid through payroll. The minutes record the exchange but do not show a formal vote or decision on changing the payment method.
The meeting concluded at 7:28 p.m. after a motion to adjourn by Szkatulski, supported by Perry, which carried unanimously.
What’s next: The council’s minutes list upcoming committee and council meeting dates and encourage community participation in related planning meetings.
